Chapter 631: Quiet
Fang Wenye's doubts were enough to fill his thriving belly, and then overflowed on his face.
But he is a military advisor, answering questions and speculating conclusions is his duty, so he couldn't help but be curious, according to the dragon king's account and the information he himself heard, he analyzed one by one, "I heard about the assassination incident in the palace, it is said that the king of praise and the king of the chase were tried together overnight, and before dawn, the prisoner confessed that the main messenger behind the scenes was a disciple of the proud building, and the proud building declared to the young warrior that the old Khan King had been occupied by demons, and only by killing him could the soul of the old Khan King and the future of the North Court be saved." ”
Fang Wen touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "But as soon as I heard the Dragon King, the Old Khan King seemed to know about the assassination beforehand, which is strange, very strange." If I guess, the real situation may be like this, the old Khan King himself arranged the assassination, the purpose is to let the dragon king come to the rescue and show his loyalty in public. King Kua and King Zhu are both smart people, and they know what is going on in the first instance, so they use this opportunity to attack their opponents. Who is the common opponent of these two people? Naturally, it is the Holy King who was bewitched by the proud building. ”
"The old Khan King probably also intends to eradicate the 'mage' around him. Gu Shenwei had just returned to the Dragon Army camp, and immediately called the military advisor to discuss the latest situation, and he had many thoughts that he could not reveal in front of the Old Khan King.
"The old man finally woke up and knew that the so-called immortality is a lie?" Fang Wen was sarcastic, but full of understanding, the cause of "immortality" was almost developed under the funding of the emperors of previous dynasties, and there are many records in the book about this kind of thing.
"Or, if he finds a more powerful 'mage', the old man will be redundant. Gu Shenwei had other guesses.
Fang Wen shook his head, not too concerned about this, "The old Khan King's heart is really hard to guess, while he is busy with immortality, he is supporting two unknown children and grandchildren, preparing to destroy and rebuild the North Court after his death, does he want the current Dragon Court to be buried with him?"
"That's it. Gu Shenwei felt that the military advisor had reached the point, "According to my observation, the old Khan King is the kind of person who holds on to it after grabbing it, he is still afraid of death, if he can't live forever, he definitely hopes to continue to control familiar people and things in another world." This is also the reason why the old Khan King wants to look for helpers outside the North Court, either me or Jinpeng Castle, the real people of the North Court will always have some feelings and interests entangled with the Dragon Court, and they are reluctant to completely destroy it, an outsider, but they can benefit from the destruction. ”
"Moreover, the Dragon King and the Dubu King will never be qualified to rule the grassland, so they can only concentrate on assisting the new Khan King. Fang Wen put forward another reason, and shook his head more often, "Crazy, the old Khan King is a madman. ”
"He's a sober-minded madman, who first shows his ugliest side, and from then on, your impression of him will only get better and better, and then he will arrange everything so logically that you can't refuse at all. ”
Fang Wen looked at the Dragon King seriously, this was not like the lord in his impression, the Dragon King's pursuit of "control" reached the level of paranoia, "unable to refuse" was usually the reason for refusal, "If you can really fight for power on the grassland, it will be easy to defeat Jinpeng Fort and dominate the Western Regions." ”
This is a great temptation, the future is clearly visible, the future cannot be said to be smooth sailing, at least it is no longer foggy, Dodon and Rollo, both in a period of urgent need for help, holding the edict, the dragon king will definitely be reused.
The old Khan knew its value, so he no longer gave the dragon king any promises, and he led those who had no way to a ready-made road, believing that this was the greatest favor.
"I need more reasons. ”
Fang Wen nodded rarely, "Anyway, those two edicts are good things, I have to get them tonight, I will find out the news as soon as possible, Duo Dun, Luo Luo, hey, the old Khan King hid them deep enough, and there are few nobles in the entire Dragon Court who take these two people seriously." ”
There are some things that Gu Shenwei didn't say to the military advisor, such as the old Khan King asking him to choose only one woman, and the false stories about his life experience, especially the former, which is actually the premise for receiving the edict.
The emotions in the heart of the old Khan have long been exhausted in his long career in power, but it has made him see the world more thoroughly, and the dragon king must pay the price to give up if he wants to walk on the path he has arranged, only in this way can the dragon king cherish this path and not give up easily.
"Let's get started. Gu Shenwei still hopes to walk on his own path.
It was another busy day, although he was invited, Gu Shenwei did not go to the suburbs to watch the training of the Ten Kings, he walked out of the tent, he felt that the sun was bright and dazzling, and all the scenery was delicate, but it was not easy to stare at it carefully.
Outside the two tents, Shangguan Fei was pulling five or six guards, dancing and telling about his deeds of bravely saving the old Khan king, and generously distributed the gold, silver and jewelry he received to the audience, keeping only a string of Buddhist beads, "This is used by the old Khan king, and it contains divine power." ”
Old man Mu stood beside Shangguan Fei, very disdainful, but rarely did not open his mouth to interrupt.
There were only five or six guards on guard, and most of them had gotten permission from the Dragon King to go to the outskirts to participate in the Dragon Court Conference, and there were quite a few small-scale competitions that would allow them to relax and perhaps win some money for wine.
Chu Nanping stood beside the Dragon King, bowing his head and thinking about his thoughts, not as vigilant as usual.
Fang Wen led the horse and led the two guards to the outside of the camp.
Across the way, the much larger camp of Jinpeng Fort was quieter, and everyone seemed to have gone out to watch the excitement except for a few bored swordsmen.
I don't know why, Gu Shenwei was deeply impressed by this ordinary scene, and he never forgot it for a long time.
It's like the calm before the storm and it's unforgettable.
Gu Shen waved for rushing to Shangguan Fei.
"What do you have the Dragon King's orders?" Shangguan Fei asked happily.
"Well, go on the other side. ”
Shangguan Fei turned his head and glanced at it, "Ah, what are you going to do there? No one is there." ”
"Give Zhang Ji a jar of good wine, and you have to hand it over to him, and you can't let others collect it on your behalf. ”
"Yes, I guess Zhang Ji is also on the side of the Dragon Court Assembly. ”
"Then wait for him to return, and give him the wine anyway. ”
"Okay. Shangguan Fei hesitated to agree, not understanding the intention of the Dragon King's move.
Old Man Mu came uninvited, and couldn't help but say: "Stupid, the Dragon King suspects that this person named Zhang has escaped, so let you take the opportunity to send wine to confirm." ”
Shangguan Fei suddenly realized and patted his head, "It's me who is confused, I drank too much last night, and I haven't come to my senses yet." ”
There is no need to take risks to inquire about the news, Shangguan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, it is not easy to receive such an easy task from the Dragon King, so he said solemnly: "Don't worry, Dragon King, I have to ask Zhang Ji's whereabouts." ”
Shangguan Fei turned around to get the wine, and the old man pouted, "I don't know, what's so great about the old Khan King? Look at his German surname, when he enters the camp of Jinpeng Castle, he will definitely brag again, forget the dragon king's business, and I will supervise him. ”
Without waiting for the Dragon King's consent, Old Man Mu had already chased after Shangguan Fei, this was the tool he fancied first, and he couldn't let another old man snatch it away.
Gu Shenwei watched as the two female officials of the Fragrance Country met Fang Wen at the gate of the camp, said a few words, hurriedly walked towards him, and suddenly asked, "Where is Tie Linglong?"
Chu Nanping raised his head blankly, "Let's go." ”
"Where?"
"I don't know. ”
"Get her back, and if she doesn't obey, tie her up and bring her to me. ”
Chu Nanping was stunned for a moment, and then showed a grateful expression, which was already a rare expression of emotion for him, "Hmm." He said yes and left at once.
The two female officers came to the Dragon King, "Dragon King, there is something very strange...... Red bats, too, are missing. ”
"What's going on?"
"The red bat often runs back and forth between the east and west camps, but she hasn't been back since she left the camp yesterday, and we began to think that she stayed here for the night, but when we think something is wrong, the dragon king is obviously ordered to enter the palace, why did she stay?"
This sounded a little ambiguous, Gu Shen didn't care about it, thought about it, and said, "I know where she is, don't worry, she is not in danger." ”
The dragon king's composure and comfort dispelled most of the worries of the two female officials, and their brows stretched at the same time, but they still couldn't be completely reassured, one of them said: "Dragon King, you said that the red bat is missing, is it related to the sect leader, did she find any clues?"
"Possibly, I'll get them back as soon as possible. ”
The two female officials still had many questions, but they believed in the dragon king and didn't say much.
"Shangguan Yun is still here, right?"
Shangguan Yun volunteered to be a hostage and stayed in the camp in the Land of Incense.
"Yes, he's honest. ”
"I'm going to see him. ”
Shangguan Yun seemed to be very satisfied with the living environment, although the tent was not big and the decoration was a little feminine, he accepted it calmly, "If my sister trains these female soldiers very well, I really can't imagine that she still has this ability." ”
"I want to talk about the future of Fortune Wings. Gu Shenwei got straight to the point.
"The future of Jinpeng Castle?" The smile on Shangguan Yun's face did not change at all, "King Dubu will die, I will inherit the king's title, and when the time comes, the king's title will probably have been recognized by Beiting and the Central Plains, that's it, as for the greater ambition, leave it to my children and grandchildren to consider." "It's a coincidence that my future is almost the same as Jinpeng Castle, but there is no word 'Dubu King'. ”
"Hehe, it seems that only one of these two futures can be realized. ”
"The illegitimate son of the king is still satisfied with you, right?"
Shangguan Yun's face changed suddenly, and he immediately returned to normal, "The Dragon King is really smart, I haven't seen him yet." ”
"Zhang Ji will help you please him. ”
"Perhaps. Shangguan Yun showed a lazy demeanor, leaning on the rolled quilt, and pillowing his hands behind his head, "I just like to sit back and enjoy it." ”
"I also like to use other people's protection, tell me, who are you hiding?"
"Doesn't the Dragon King know?" Shangguan Yun pretended to be surprised, "I told you as early as when I passed through the Heavenly Pass." ”
Lotus girl, at that banquet, Zhang Ji asked the lotus girl to stop monitoring Shangguan Yun.
The speculation in Gu Shenwei's heart was finally confirmed.
"The Lotus Girl is a woman who will be avenged, I really regret that I offended her at that time, and I regret not killing her, only the Dragon King, hehe, she can also open up to the Dragon King, right? ”
After Gu Shenwei's question was asked, he thought, who is open to whom.
